The purpose of the present study was to examine one facet of employment viability, losing a job on purpose, among individuals with borderline personality symptomatology (BPS).
Using a cross-sectional self-report survey methodology in a combined sample of four prior studies from the same study site (n = 1493), we examined the relationship between losing a job on purpose and two self-report measures for BPS.
There were 7.6% of participants that endorsed losing a job on purpose, with no statistically significant difference between the proportions of males and females. Point-biserial correlation coefficients revealed that those who endorsed losing a job on purpose scored statistically significantly higher on both measures of BPS and were more likely to exceed the clinical cut-off scores on both measures of BPS. Multiple regression analyses indicated that findings were independent of gender or age.
One factor in poor employment viability among individuals with BPS appears to be the behaviour of losing a job on purpose.
本研究旨在探讨边缘型人格障碍症状个体(BPS)有计划地失业这一就业能力的一个方面。
在同一研究地点的四项先前研究的合并样本中(n=1493),采用横断面自我报告调查方法,我们研究了有计划地失业与 BPS 的两个自我报告测量指标之间的关系。
有 7.6%的参与者表示有计划地失业,男性和女性的比例没有统计学上的显著差异。两点双变量相关系数显示,那些有计划地失业的人在 BPS 的两个测量指标上的得分都显著更高,并且更有可能在 BPS 的两个测量指标上超过临床临界分数。多元回归分析表明,这些发现与性别或年龄无关。
BPS 个体就业能力差的一个因素似乎是有计划地失业的行为。
